Australian veteran spinner Shane Warne took his last breath on March 4 2022.  The spin wizard was in Thailand when he passed away because of a heart attack. Warne’s death sent a shockwave across the cricketing fraternity as he was only 52-years old. In his honor, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on March 5 (Saturday) announced that late spin legend will receive a state funeral.

Cricket Australia has also announced to rename a stand at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Warne’s honour as world mourns the loss of one of its greats sportspersons. Leg-spinner Warne is ranked second on the list of highest wicket-takers in longest format of the game with 708 wickets to his name. The 52-year old is  only behind Sri Lankan off-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan who had picked up 800 wickets.

The spin wizard was lauded by many former and present cricketers for his many accomplishments. Amongst the 339 games Warne played for Australia, the leg-spinner won many games for his country single-handedly. The leg-spinner was instrumental in Australia’s successful campaign at the 1999 World Cup. Warne was the player of the match in both the semi-final and final of the tournament.

He was one of our nation’s greatest characters: PM Morrison

Writing on his Twitter account Morrison said that his countrymen were ”bewildered” by a ”sad and sudden” loss of Warne and the state funeral would be organized for him.

Writing on Twitter Morrison said, “He was one of our nation’s greatest characters. His humour, his passion, his irreverence, his approachability ensured he was loved by all.” ”There was none like Shane. He lived his life his way. He had his great achievements, but also his regrets. He carried them all the same way,”

”With a cheeky smile and a zest for life. There was something magical that he brought to our summers. The bleached blonde hair, the almost casual way he moved to send down a delivery, and his engagement with the crowd. He was one of a kind,” Morrison added.

The court, generally, considers a person who commit a crime and the one who destroys the evidence, as criminals in the eyes of law. But what if an animal destroys the evidence of a crime committed by a human.

In a peculiar incident in Rajasthan, a monkey fled away with the evidence collected by the police in a murder case. The stolen evidence included the murder weapon (a blood-stained knife).

The incident came to light when the police appeared before the court and they had to provide the evidence in the hearing.

The hearing was about the crime which took place in September 2016, in which a person named Shashikant Sharma died at a primary health center under Chandwaji police station. After the body was found, the deceased’s relatives blocked the Jaipur-Delhi highway, demanding an inquiry into the matter.

Following the investigation, the police had arrested Rahul Kandera and Mohanlal Kandera, residents of Chandwaji in relation to the murder. But, when the time came to produce the evidence related to the case, it was found that the police had no evidence with them because a monkey had stolen it from them.

In the court, the police said that the knife, which was the primary evidence, was also taken by the monkey. The cops informed that the evidence of the case was kept in a bag, which was being taken to the court.

The evidence bag contained the knife and 15 other important evidences. However, due to the lack of space in the malkhana, a bag full of evidence was kept under a tree, which led to the incident.
